"If it's not too much trouble your_, empress I would love to ask for the reason why you came to seek me out so early in the morning. Do you have something that you would like us to discuss?"

The empress slowly placed her cup of tea down on the table. Even that simple act was filled with gracefulness.

"I will get straight to it then," the empress looked at Scarlet seriously and she asked, "How much would it take for you to sell this planet back to the royal family?"

She almost dropped the cup of chocolate milk in her hands because of this unexpected question which she had not foreseen.

Of all the questions or things she expected the empress to discuss with her, buying back the planet was not on her list. 𝙛𝙧𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝓶

The empress noticed her tiny reactions and she said, "You must be fluttered by my question dear, I should apologize for suddenly springing it on you like this."

Scarlet put down her own cup of milk and took a deep breath.

Then, she opened her mouth and said, "I am afraid that I am going to disappoint you your highness. The Blue star is not up for sale so nothing and no amount of money that you offer will tempt me to give it up. Why would you buy back a planet that you never sold in the first place?

It was given to Esong and I as a wedding gift which we happily accepted. Do you know what it was like when I had just moved here, it was empty, dry, the people were starving. Those were some hard times, but we endured and now things have changed and they are looking up.

I have made many promises to these people about the blue star being our home. What will they think if I sell our home?

Let me ask you this, would you be interested in buying it if it was still the old desolate blue star?"

The empress looked at Scarlet and she said frankly, "No, if it was the old blue star, I would not be interested. Do not take my offer to buy the blue star from you in an offensive way. The idea does not come from the emperor, it's something I came up with on my own. I knew that you would say no but I figured that I would ask anyway."

"Thank you for your honesty." Scarlet told her.

"Well, we are going to be even closer in the future after my son weds your sister so I do not want to base the future our relationship on lies."

"That will make me very pleased your highness." she said.

The empress sighed and picked up her tea cup, "Again with the your highness_"

"It will take me a while to become familiar with any new way of addressing you."

"I am not impatient dear, we can take away our time."

"So, when do you plan to return to the capital your highness?"

The empress laughed and asked, "Has my short lived stay already made things difficult for you?"

Scarlet waved her right hand immediately, "No your highness, that is not the case at all.?We are very happy to host you, it is a point of pride for us now as we have only just recently joined the ranks of decent star planets."

"So why?" the empress asked. fr eewebn ovel.com

"It's because we will be getting back to work tomorrow. Abiding by the laws of the empire, the citizens will be working half days with the exception of those who want to work for a full day. I myself will be quite busy and I would not want you to feel ignored in any way."?she explained.

This was because of Cecily's words on attitude and what not.

"I have been informed that the Xenoans will also be leaving tomorrow so I assumed that you would be too."

"Oh no, I intend to stay back for a few more days. It is perplexing to me that the Xenoans are leaving so soon however, I was expecting them to stick around for a while and attempt to poke around. Don't you find it questionable that they are leaving already?" the empress looked at her with the expectation of an honest answer.

"I think the prospect of trade with us has excited princess Carana, she requested for samples of things to be carried back and presented to their empress." Scarlet replied.

The empress nodded her head along to Scarlet's explanation and then she added, "What else do you think we can trade with them with the exception of plants or animals? This kind of opportunity is too great to simply handle placidly. Now, one of my guards mentioned that their ships run on a different kind of energy from ours and he thinks that's why they run faster. I think we could benefit from receiving their energy stones."

Else where in the palace, more drama was created by Amara who visited the castle once again, to see Adler.

He had not been expecting to see her so soon after the way she stormed off and the things she said.?Why did they keep letting her into the castle?

He could see that glint in her eyes when she stopped him on his way out of the castle by planting her body directly in front of his car.

When he stopped it, she run to the side and opened the car door, letting herself inside.

Already, castle workers were slowing down their steps to see what was about to follow.

Adler would not give them the satisfaction of turning his life into their entertainment so he drove off, in search of a private place where they could both talk in peace.

He found the perfect spot in the underground parking of his office building. Through the whole ride, they had maintained perfect silence that was filled with tension.

It was not sexual tension, somehow that had fizzled out, over the years. It had taken time, but he was slowly coming to realize that Amara might not be it for him.

A woman who did not respect his family did not deserve his time or attention.

"I am not in the mood for whatever is going on in your head Amara and please, stop coming to the castle, it is my sister, the governor's castle, not Adler's castle. I have work to do so get out of my car."

He expected her to throw a temper tantrum but what she did next, took him by surprise.

Amara launched herself at him, in tears, grabbed his face and started kissing him.

For two seconds, he was surprised, but then, his sanity was restored and he pushed her away from himself. The harder he pushed, the more desperate Amara tried to hold on and initiate intimacy.

"What the hell are you doing?" Adler shouted sternly and shoved her away from his body with much power.

The tears she had feigned dried up quickly and a sneer on her face replaced them.

"What's wrong, it's not as if we have not kissed many times before." she said.

"That was back when we were still together." he banged his fist on the dashboard of the car to make the point that Amara somehow seemed not to be getting.
